The table below summarises the total amounts received by each party, split by pre-poll donation week.
The table below summarises totals for week one to six, split by 2019 and 2024.
Interestingly, Labour received a higher total donation amount in week 2 of the 2019 campaign, however when looking at donor type, it can be seem this was massively boosted by Trade Union donations - individual and company donations remained low for Labour during week 2 of the 2019 campaign.

Below sums up the totals for week one to three received in 2019 and 2024 by the key parties. This is to get a better sense of total amounts compared to 2019 - it is interesting that there was still more money going into the Conservatives relative to how much Labour are getting now.
This may be related to the increase in reporting threshold; in 2019 any donation over £7,500 needed to be reported, the Elections Act of 2022 raised this threshold to £11,180. Rather than less money being accepted, it may be less is required to be reported. This is speculation.
